Description Thomas Perl (reporter) 2009-10-28 22:01:43 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:

1.2009.41-10

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1. Open media player
2. Touch "Music"
3. Make sure the view mode is "All songs"
4. Search for a middle part of the song title
   (e.g. "Bedroom" for the song "Original Bedroom Rockers")

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

The song is found and "Bedroom" is highlighted.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

No song is found, as the search function only matches the beginning.

REPRODUCIBILITY:

always

OTHER COMMENTS:

Use cases where I would not be able to find a song I'm searching for:

*) The song title (errorneously) contains the track number
   => "03 Walking on sunshine" (search for "Walking")
*) I only know one artist of a song with multiple artists
   => "Kruder & Dorfmeister" (search for "Dorfmeister")
*) I know the remixer, but not the artist/song title
   => "Loser (Fatboy Slim Remix)" (search for "Fatboy")

The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for
public: The Maemo5 update version 2.2009.51-1 (also called "PR1.1" sometimes).
Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update
version.

Comment 6 amitkankani 2010-01-14 12:41:06 UTC

Confirmed to be fixed in the PR1.1 :)

it even searches for substrings, not only beginning of next words, so its a
good experience.

Can I mark the bug as closed, or I guess Thomas should do it once he verifies
it :)
